Patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research has gained
widespread attention and implementation in the last 10–15
years. Numerous funding institutions now require research professions
to state how they intend to involve people whose lives are
implicated in the research project. However, as the various disciplines
within health sciences are built on diverse epistemological
traditions, the involvement of patients and public takes
various forms and poses different challenges to researchers and
research subjects. The aim of this chapter is to explore how PPI is
conceptualised across a range of research projects. We describe
different epistemological frameworks and how these influence the knowledge practices of professionals working in a range of
health institutions. We approach public/patient involvement in
two ways. First, we undertake a brief historical review of three
research traditions where interaction between scientists and
implicated parties is a central pivot. We term these: 1) pragmaticinteractionist,
2) ideological-political, and 3) consumerist research.
We conclude by discussing three dilemmas of how patient
and public involvement in research challenges the epistemological
diversity of professional knowledge.
